You have the ability to dive into the commandline when you need to/ want to, but have the comfortable point/click user interface when you don't want to worry about it. Just something else to think about... Oh... And there's no virii for the Mac :) </reply> Cant afford a new comp or a new OS and as for your last statement: http://www.sophos.com.au/pressoffice/news/articles/2006/02/macosxleap.html _almost_ no virii for the Mac :) Cheers!
